We need to bring back POST cards as a standard with documented hex staging numbers so people can actually look up where in the boot process their new machines are hanging at.

SwissArmyDruid posted:We are coming up on almost 30 years of ATX now. We've needed a new ground-up motherboard spec for almost twenty of them. Good news: I've been doing deep level test works on motherboards for over a decade and a half now and if you blast data to ISA port 0x80 on them, you can still make a POST card work. It's a shame that's the closest we'll ever get to an x86 mobo version of OBD-II.

I've also now just noticed that every two seconds the RGB LEDs on my Corsair H150i will blink off for a split second. I think this machine might just be straight up haunted. Anyone here got any holy water I can borrow?

Josh Lyman posted:little shop of ASUS horrors Even on the latest BIOS for my ASUS TUF B650 I'm still getting random hard lockups every 48-96 hours. The only thing I haven't tried is a flatten and reinstall, and only because I'm pretty sure if it didn't solve the problem I'd find out because it'd crash before I finished reinstalling everything I need.

I guarantee whatever DRM/anticheat/Warden derivative that's running inside Diablo 4 is more computationally and memory-hungry than an electron app whose UI renderer is absolutely going to be paged out or COW deduplicated by the memory manager until needed.

I have almost managed two weeks of uptime on my previously ridiculously unstable 7700X + ASUS B650 build. I don't care that this post is going to jinx that. I'm just amazed at this because I haven't changed a loving thing. No BIOS updates, no physical environmental changes, no driver updates, same set of Windows updates still outstanding... This machine is more haunted than myhouse.pk3. e: Crashed six and a half hours after this post. loving pile of poo poo. Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jun 13, 2023 |

I should probably update my BIOS and see if I can get this poo poo board POSTing on DDR5-6000 now that I've fixed the random lockup issue.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Yeah, ASRock's new bios allows for really high memory speeds, but it may not help performance much in most things because the uclock goes into 2:1 mode with the memclock. As seen in that screenshot, 4000 memclock with 2000 uclock, while on a DDR5-6000 EXPO kit, you'll get 3000 memclock and uclock. I've got an ASUS board that, at launch, wasn't able to consistently POST above 4800, even with kits that were rated by both ASUS and AMD as being valid at 6000. I'm hoping that nine months and several BIOS updates later it'll be able to do so as advertised. Dozens of claims on reddit of this have been posted and it's just beyond hosed. ASUS really hosed the dog on this board, but hopefully after almost a year of incremental improvements maybe it'll do what they said it would when it came on the market.

Up here in the great white north, a 7700X is $370 CAD and a 7800X3D is $590 CAD. It is over two hundred dollars cheaper to buy the 7700X and maybe lose an error bar's worth of frametimes.

The whole "efficiency cores can't execute AVX-512" problem is the stupidest thing. It's something that could be solved in the scheduler (CPU topology discovery is a solved problem and the scheduler could just flag e-cores as not able to run anything with AVX-512 and the first time an AVX-512 instruction causes an #UD fault on an e-core the offending thread gets flagged as needing to be run on a p-core), but because people are stupid and refuse to update their operating systems, 12th and 13th gen Intel desktop processors can't do AVX-512.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:https://twitter.com/Olrak29_/status/1685343071213604864 This would also explain why AMD has finally sunsetted the G-series ultra-low-power SOCs. If they can spit out 4-core Zen 5/5c CCXes that can operate under 10 watts then there's no point in continuing to produce Jaguar dies in 2024 and beyond.

Twerk from Home posted:Wait what, games actually require NVMe storage now? TLOU at that? Wow, I assumed that SATA SSDs would just make for slightly slower load times. The consoles both have magical storage streaming technology, and approximating that on PC by requiring NVMe instead of optimizing your storage calls means you can redirect the man-hours in the budget that would otherwise be used for that over to microtransactions

Multi-channel width vs. speed has always been a tradeoff, and AM5 is no exception. Would I like my 7700X box to be able to run 4x16s at 6000 MHz? Sure. Is 2x16 enough? Yeah, for now. When it's not, I'm sure AM5 will be mature enough that I can pop an 8800X3D and 4x16 at 6000 MHz in and it'll probably Just Work. But in the meantime, I can run Streets of Tarkov at high graphics at 1440p at 90-110 FPS and that's more than good enough for me.
